I put this in the VSMS Virtual Forum so it will get more views.

I do not know what all they do but this is a nice set for a 66-1 and 66-3. The threader is the handiest thing to have, I had one and can not find it for the life of me but it was the best threader I have ever used.

OK Billy, please please tell me what you spotted and where that is a needle threader. I just took an old red-eye in the dirtiest shape possible out of her cabinet and put my plain black Bertha in there mostly because she is a back mount and the only attatchments with her is her good ol' foot. Bertha is a side-mount.

These are all RARE and hard to find, ergo, worth a bundle. They are for the older 66's that have the foot clamp in the back (like mine in my avatar). Most of the 66s have the newer side clamping feet, which are common. I'm glad you doctored these up with naval jelly and are taking good care of them. They are hard to come by.

p 16 has the attachments. it seems to be a scan of an old actual manual and is fuzzy. sorry.

you are right on the hemmer & ruffler. one of the half circles says shirring plate. the knobbed thing is a "tucker"

In addition to giving help on the website, this lady has written a book called "The Sewing Machine Attachment Handbook". Well worth the $$ if you are into vintage machines!

I am taking good care of them (thanks!), but do you know how to use them? I have directions for the ruffler and the adjustable hemmer (though I am having some trouble using it).

Thanks
